Free access to all Elsevier material for postdocs between jobs

Posted by Andreas Holmstrom on July 8, 2013

If you are a postdoctoral researcher between jobs, you can apply for free access to all Elsevier/ScienceDirect scholarly articles here. It seems like all you need is a letter on official letterhead from your last institution, and what you (might?) get is free access for a 6-month period, with a personal access code. Note that you have to apply before Aug 31st! Probably this is something they’re experimenting with partly in response to criticism and boycott, but regardless of your opinion on Elsevier and the boycott debate, access to “their” articles might be useful.
